Another local sports icon gone

Yet again more tragic news about a sports figure dying from our fair city.

Not sure what's up with that but it's getting way too strange for me now. Yesterday, NHL hockey player Derek Boogaard passed away at the age of 28. Cause of death has not been determined. Doug Wickenheiser(hockey), Sandra Schrimler(curling), and Marge Mitchell (curling) all died way before their time. It's a strange story but maybe it's just bad luck?

Boogaard was a bruiser on the ice but a pure gentleman off. He dedicated a lot of time to help local charities in Regina and in the cities that he played for. He will be missed.
